The Sun has begun its descent towards winter, and the high Arctic melt season hasn’t started yet.

The sad part is that the MSM will not pick up on any of this.
Or that more ice is due to…..global warming.
Hank Paulson wants another bailout now asking for a carbon tax. I am sick of these cronyism statist’s.
Surprise, surprise, for the gloom and doomers… All those “dying” Emperor Penguins still alive and well…

and the fact that the MSM, the Bureaucrats, and Al Gore et al can’t understand a record level Antarctic Ice map is in my assessment… “criminally inconvenient”.

I see that the temperature on the North Pole buoy finally made it above freezing — barely, by 0.2 degrees. Of course, that buoy has drifted down to 85 degrees latitude. I wonder if the true North Pole has made it above freezing ??
Collide-a-scape just claimed that the arctic has started a real high melt percentage of about 40%. How is that rectified with your DMI plot?
Summertime summertime sum sum summertime 😉

My deepest apologies to the Beach Boys…
“Surfin’ Prudhoe Bay”
You know Alaska has an ocean
as warm as Biscayne Bay
Now the Eskimos are surfin’
Even on New Year’s day
You see ‘em dress so scantily
on skis and not snow shoes
They’re slaloming around Shamu
Surfin’ Prudhoe Bay
You’d catch ‘em surfin’ at Homer (High tide, worldwide, Prudhoe Bay)
And down at Ketchikan (High tide, worldwide, Prudhoe Bay)
Junea and Sitka (High tide, worldwide, Prudhoe Bay)
Nome and Unakleet (High tide, worldwide, Prudhoe Bay)
All over Kaktovik
And down at Koyuk way
Eskimos gone surfin’
Surfin’ Prudhoe Bay
Because the white man pollutes
Have no seals to harpoon
They’re waxing down their surfboards
Thank an oil tycoon
No more seasons only summer
We’re on surfari to stay
Tell the media we’re surfin’
Surfin’ Prudhoe bay
Polar bear bikinis
Custom whale bone shades
Kuiu Island and Junea
Seward and Bushkin Beach
All over Alaska
All the warmists say
Eskimos gone surfin’
Surfin’ Prudhoe Bay
Eskimos gone surfin’
Surfin’ Prudhoe Bay
Eskimos gone surfin’
Surfin’ Prudhoe Bay
Excellent, I could hear the Beach Boys singing it my head.
It troubles me that DMI shows temps running slightly lower than average since ~ May 5th and yet we see above average melting in almost all areas of the arctic on cryosphere’s maps. Some of this will be due to DMI being above 80 degrees and the cryosphere maps covering areas further south but still it bugs me.
Perhaps this is a clue to you as to what really makes the Arctic melt? … think for a while …
Thank You.
Yep, as squid2112 notes, have a think about what does and indeed doesn’t, cause arctic ice to melt.
Go to the DMI website, their records go back to the 1950s, pull any year you like and see if there’s a big difference in either the time spent above freezing, or indeed the temps themselves.
Then wonder why GISS reckons the Arctic’s boiling.
Maybe it’s time for the Arctic rowers to try again.
Arctic ice extent right now is within 30 yr. average (+/- 2 standard devs.) minimum sea ice extent in September should be no less than 4.25M Km2.
There is also an above average area of 3-5+ meter- thick ice, this year.
